So when do you guys think marijuana will actually be legalized, if ever

The government will never legalize marijuana, they make to much money off of it.

Even if they ever do legalize it, they will be taxed all to shit like cigarettes. Canada we pay fucking 11 bucks for a pack of smokes.

If they legalized it in canada, they would lose money. Not to mention the restrictions of selling a legal product that supposedly causes cancer. If they keep it illegal, there's none of that.
To me it is no worse than ciggarette's, and much less harmful than alcohol. You can never OD on weed. But you can get alcohol poisoning and die. If they were ever gonna legalize it, they would have already done it.
In the USA, they can bust big time drug dealers, seize their assets (boats, cars, houses) and auction them off. Im not sure about Canada on that, but thats where a lot of the drug money is made by the government.

It'll have legalization in terms of medical use, but there is no way anyone in the USA is going to see pot legal for recreational use

I dont think weed should be legalized because i think we'd run out n shit or something like that would happen!

I once heard that a major issue preventing the legalization in the U.S. is the easy growing procedure that goes along with the product. That is, because it is so easy to grow people could produce their own marijuana and the government would have a hard time taxing the stuff.

it's all about the money - if the government can make millions off of poisoning people with tobacco, they'll figure a way to make it work.

Weed is not exactly something the religious conservatives would be in favor of so you'll see a ton of opposition there.

They'll not legalise it until they can make it socially acceptable and then earn a bundle from it.

Alcohol is my pet hate. It causes so much damage yet is still seen as acceptable.

I dont think marijuana will be legalised until governments worldwide can find a way of taxing users / suppliers, and making big money off them

In the past Alcohol was illegal but that all changed when governments found a way to keep tight control of supply, and raise money from taxes.

Until it is legalised in the "western world"
